“At the backstage lounge, Mr Lane,” one of the assistants replied. Bradley nodded quietly and headed to
the backstage to look for Guinevere. “Miss Cohen… I heard you’re refusing to shoot?” he asked the
instant he stepped inside Guinvere’s private room, opening the door without flinching unlike Guinevere’s
wimpy assistants. “Or perhaps you have another opinion to offer?”

Guinevere was caught by surprise and looked up to see that it was Bradley. Her gaze changing right
then, she said, “Why would you say that? Wasn’t my body double doing just fine?” “She is, but I heard
from others that you don’t actually agree.” “… Who, me?” Guinevere rose to her feet. “How so? And who
said that?”
Bradley certainly could not point fingers, and simply fixed his gaze upon her. “I hope you’ll be forthright if
you have any opinions. You know that my film schedule has been packed recently, and I won’t be aware
of your mood swings 24/7.” His words were sharp, but actually tolerant-Guinevere could tell that he was
offering her a stool to get off her high horse. If she kept on acting like this, he might have to swap
actresses. Be that as it may, Guinevere only felt burgeoning grief. She had merely taken maternity leave,
and E Steele immediately popped up in the film crew after that.
Who did she think she was?! She just had a face that resembled Guinevere’s!
So why was she everywhere? Was Guinevere fated not to escape her for the rest of her life?
“I’m just curious-why would you take an interest in my stunt double when she has no experience in
acting, director?”
Guinevere said then, and as if genuinely interested in their connection, she brazenly asked,” You’re
single at the moment, right?”
Bradley did a double take, and scowled when he realized what Guinevere was getting at. “E Steele,
your stunt double, may be inexperienced, but her performance today was plenty enough to show that
she has surpassed seasoned actors. While experience is an established metric, it is not the only metric
that matters, because overall performance takes priority.” While Bradley did not name anyone in
particr, it was obvious to Guinevere that he was talking about her-she could have yed the martial
arts sequence if she was willing to push herself, but the point is she refused. In fact, it was likely that
after winning the best actress award and being fawned upon made her less driven to prove herself than
before. One might say that she had bex. In reality, everyone working with her could see that, but
none of them had the guts to tell that to her face. “I’m not here to discuss E with you,” Bradley said
then, cutting to the chase. “I may have no
grounds to dismiss you since you’re one of the investors, but your attitude could prevent me from
working on this film seriously.” Guinevere’s face dropped. “What are you talking about?” “Just letting
sleeping dogs lie,” Bradley replied. “If I am forced to direct a film that is not up to my own standard, I
would not call it my work-just an assignment I was paid to do.” And knowing that Bradley woulde
good on his threat, Guinevere glowered. “You’re siding with E Steele as well, aren’t you? Just because
she got a little hurt filming a sequence as my stunt double, everyst one of you ising for my
head?!”
Bradley realized right then that Guinevere was not thinking straight, but countered regardless, “Why
would I side with E? Or perhaps you’ve actually realized that you were bullying her just now?” It was
not the first time that Bradley sensed the grievance between both women. He had been surprised to find
out that Guinevere and E were acquainted, but while he did not dwell on the matter at the time, was it
not obvious that there was some history between them?
He asked about it once that possibility crossed his mind, only for Guinevere tough icily in return. “Are
you joking? Why would I have a grudge against her? As if she could be mentioned in the same breath as
myself!”
